CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — CCISD is taking steps towards helping teachers and staff take care of their mental health. This Saturday they hosted the Hearts and Minds Wellness Retreat to give faculty a little break.
This half-day event featured yoga sessions, guided meditation, and even a game room to help folks blow off some steam.
We spoke with CCISD's coordinator for recruitment and retention, Dr. Katie Walker about the event.
"Mental health and wellness is really important for our teachers and employees in the schools, who have really been crucial in making sure our students are supported," Dr. Walker said, "And we know that if our people are not supported they won't be able to take care of our kiddos."
CCISD previously held a similar retreat for their campus counselors, and they hope to make these events a regular occurrence in the future.
